HTML document layout - Microstrategy

The HTML document layout is used to position the reports inside the document. The layout is HTML, allowing you to insert images, text, tables, and hyperlinks; anything you can add to a Web page you can add to an HTML document.

The HTML document layout is an HTML file that includes special tags to identify the placement of the reports. Reports are represented by customized image tags. These images are replaced by the actual report when you execute the HTML document in HTML Document View in Desktop or through MicroStrategy Web.

HTML documents use XML and XSL to allow the user to view the content of the reports included in the HTML document. These technologies allow you to separate style from content when creating Web pages. XML defines the structure of information while XSL defines the formatting of information. The XML of the report is provided by the Intelligence Server, and the formatting is supplied by the XSL specified in the HTML Document Editor.
